I sort of happened to me once. I created an image and posted it eons ago (2006), got a few laughs, then promptly forgot about it. A few years later, like five years after the fact, I was following along with a PowerPoint presentation at some work thing and there was my image in the middle of it. Apparently the image had become an office favourite and ended up spawning a bunch of similar images, then t-shirts, coffee mugs, posters, all sorts of things. I started seeing the image in things like the documentation for Google Charts, and in other presentations. It was weird. The image blew up and I had zero idea it had happened. It spread via Boing Boing and Wil Wheaton, believe it or not.
I can only take credit for the image itself, as the joke itself came from a magazine I had read at a dentists office.
So yeah, I can totally see it happening, ‘cause it borderline-happened to me.
I’m talking more about the weird obsession they have with hating kids, to the point they make these cringey terms like “meat sirens” and “crotch goblins”. If someone said those terms to me in real life, I don’t think I could take that person seriously anymore.
Most people who want to not have kids I know IRL just want to keep their freedom to do what they want and keep the freetime they currently have. Or for financial reasons.
But childfree on the web is often simply hating on kids or moreso their parents really.
Also just go to adult only restaurants, hotels, etc. That’s what those are for right. When we have a night out without the kids that’s what we do even. Nothing worse than getting the kids to grandma to then be screamed at by kids during dinner.
Nitchy? I haven’t seen that word and I can’t tell from looking it up if this is some use I don’t understand or if it’s just a misspelling/pronunciation of niche
Checkout across from me was closed and a trolley put in the lane to block it off. While serving a woman with her kid, the little shit was fucking up my counter. He knocked over my water bottle and messed up my stacked pamphlets. I asked the woman to get him to stop and she told him off, but as she left the kid turned around and smacked my pamphlets again, laughed and as he went to run away he ran straight into the trolley across from me and clothes-lined himself on the handle HARD. I laughed my ass off right in the little shits face as he cried, his mother just grabbed him by the arm and walked off…
I have a similar one from Fuddruckers. The restaurant had a center island, and the hell spawn of a crotch goblin was running on the counter, kicking shit off.
I said, “Hey kid, get down or you’ll slip and hurt yourself.” Of course his mom starts in on how her precious little sociopath can do whatever he wants and I can’t stop him.
I’m sure you can guess what happened immediately after. It was glorious.
